Swift springs review!!!!!

Jehfuhhree · 03-01-2016, 07:43 AM

quick question. so i installed the swift springs on Sunday and they have been squeaking excessively when the car is under 40 mph. could they just be settling? or could something not be tight enough?

did you remember to put the insulators from your stock springs to the swifts?

Granted I did a few other things also, from stock to Swift.

Swift, spl rear links, spl lockout kit, spc toe bolts

Fun on the smooth turns up here in San Francisco since 2011 and at 52k and the springs are still holding up. Just hate pot holes, bumps, cracks, shiiit, anything that isn't smooth road.

Are those PF01s? If so what size? Looks good.

YangCheolIn · 04-07-2016, 12:31 PM

Yes they are! 18 x 9.5 in the front and 18 x 10.5 in the back

Hey guys. How many miles have you put on your swifts before having to replace the shocks and/or springs? The person installing them told me "max 30k miles", but I'm going on 50k miles without a problem!

50K miles on OEM shocks is pretty good. Then again, Swifts do have a conservative drop which isn't too burdensome for the factory dampers.

The spring rate has a greater effect on reducing the life of the dampeners than the ride height...

So anybody make it to 75k on oem shocks and swifts yet? Im basically waiting for the car to get bouncier to make sure they are at their limits right? How would I know if the struts are out?

I just installed these on my z yesterday and my front driver's is about 1/4 inch higher than the passenger side. And the rear passenger side is about 1/2 an inch higher than rear driver's side. Should I expect these to settle more evenly over a few weeks?

For s&g's here's a pic of my ride on swifts!
